What applications does the 22230 cover on Subaru vehicles?
The 22230 is a Subaru trim retainer used in fender, bumper, body panel, and interior trim applications. Subaru models use a range of clip sizes and profiles across their lineup — verify that the 22230 matches your existing retainer's dimensions before ordering for a specific application.
How do I confirm the 22230 is the right retainer for my Subaru?
South Mountain Supply carries multiple Subaru retainers, including the 22230 and 21594. To confirm compatibility, compare the profile and dimensions of the 22230 to your existing retainer, or check the OEM part number stamped on the clip being replaced. If you have the OEM number, contact SMS for cross-reference assistance.
How do I replace trim retainers on a Subaru?
Use a plastic trim removal tool to pry the trim panel or fender liner away from the body structure. Remove any broken retainer fragments from the mounting holes in both the panel and the body. Press the new 22230 retainers into position until each clip snaps or seats fully. Reinstall the panel by pressing it evenly onto the body mounting points until all retainers lock in place.
What pack size should I order?
The 22230 is available in packs of 15, 30, 60, and 90. A pack of 15 is suitable for spot repairs or a single panel replacement. A pack of 30 covers a full vehicle retainer replacement on most Subaru models with extras to spare. Packs of 60 and 90 offer the best per-clip price for shops regularly servicing Subaru vehicles.
Are these retainers compatible with both Subaru Legacy and Outback models?
Subaru uses shared platforms across many models, and the same retainer often fits multiple vehicles within a generation. The 22230 may fit both Legacy and Outback (and potentially Forester or Impreza) applications. Always verify by comparing the OEM number or physical dimensions of the 22230 to the retainer in your specific vehicle before ordering in quantity.
